Students are free to choose from among the Humanities and Social Science courses listed below; the only constraints will be imposed by timetable conflicts and prerequisites specified for the courses themselves. Linkage courses offered in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science also qualify as H&SS courses, but can only be counted once.
Descriptions of the courses listed here can be found in the Calendar of the Faculty of Arts and Science.
Appeal can be made to the Operations Committee for permission to take any course offered by the University not listed here as an H&SS Complementary Study elective. However courses in the Languages confined to conversation skills or technical translation may not be used to satisfy requirements in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
The academic units in Arts and Science courses can vary widely; students are advised to check with the Faculty Office if in doubt.
